DC Comics Rebooting Everything?

Share.

Speculation abounds about an influx of new number ones.

It's no secret that DC has been anything but forthcoming about the state of the DC Universe post-Flashpoint. It's their tentpole event of the summer, and of course, no one wants it to be spoiled. However, renowned rumor and gossip website Bleeding Cool suggests that DC is looking to reboot their entire line after Flashpoint #5 hits in August.

Granted, there are absolutely no sources given for this information, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, Bleeding Cool has been right about things more than once. The post suggests that DC's solicitations for August abound with "finality." Well, of course they do... it's the final month of their big crossover story, what else would you expect? The site goes on to say that some of the alternative Flashpoint continuity could remain as official canon for the DCU. Again, something most fans will have expected. Historically, every DC event has had some long lasting continuity changes.

When we contacted DC Comics, they declined to comment on speculation about a post-Flashpoint DC Universe.

What would this mean for you readers if DC were to relaunch every title with a new #1? Sound off below... we're sure you've got something to say.
